This will be Sawyer's mode of operation for the rest of the week! He was hooked up to saline fluids yesterday mid-afternoon and then started receiving the chemo medicine (big yellow bag) around 9:30 pm. That drug is infusing through his system all day today and will finish later tonight, then he'll just have the fluids to clear the chemo out of his system. They will draw blood every day and release him when the chemo drug concentration is below 0.1 (expected to be on Friday).
He can get up and move around as he wants, he just has to roll the IV pole along with him. He also has no diet restrictions and can eat whatever and whenever he'd like.
He did get a roommate in the afternoon yesterday; another 16-year-old boy who is expected to be in the hospital until Thursday. We were definitely spoiled the last time when we had the whole room to ourselves!
